discovery.
Discovering Devices with HP Web Jetadmin through Firewalls
Although rewalls provide a secure perimeter for business resources, they can also present a barrier to software
products. HP Web Jetadmin provides the ability to discover and manage devices throughout a business network.
HP Web Jetadmin uses Multicast and SLP techniques to discover devices on your network. Using standard
rewall congurations, multicasts are typically blocked because the communication port on which it relies is
blocked. To facilitate a broadcast discovery such as Multicast and SLP, HP Web Jetadmin uses the well-known
static port, UDP port number 427. To enable this discovery technique, the machine running HP Web Jetadmin
must unblock the port used from within the rewall settings.
Discovery Types and Methods
HP Web Jetadmin performs the following types of discoveries:
●
Network-connected device discoveries—HP Web Jetadmin nds a network node and then sends SNMP
queries to discover the devices that are connected directly to that network node. After the SNMP query
resolves a device, the device is displayed in the All Devices list. Resolved devices can include HP Jetdirect-
connected devices, third-party devices, HP network scanners, HP network projectors, and so on. For more
information, see Network-Connected Device Discoveries on page 136.
●
PC-connected device discoveries—HP Web Jetadmin nds PCs and then discovers the devices that are
connected to an LPT port or USB port on those PCs. HP SNMP Proxy Agent is a small software package that
facilitates communication between HP Web Jetadmin and the PC-connected devices. If HP SNMP Proxy
Agent is installed on the PC, HP Web Jetadmin gathers detailed information about the connected devices. If
HP SNMP Proxy Agent is not installed on the PC, HP Web Jetadmin gathers only a minimal amount of device
information about the connected devices. For more information, see PC-Connected Device Discoveries
on page 137.
Most of the discovery methods are available for both network-connected discoveries and PC-connected
discoveries. The following table identies whether a discovery method can be selected for each discovery type.
